“Just look about you in the place you find yourself in” wrote Thomas Hughes in “Tom Brown’s School Days”, penned in memory of his time at Rugby School. Arnold Villas, named after the famous head of Rugby School “Thomas Arnold”, (who is said to have invented the modern public school system of prefects), is a semi-detached, Victorian “Gothic Revival” Villa which forms one of six houses set within a private mews/walkway between Hillmorton Road and Elsee Rd, accessed via Church Walk.
Lovingly restored from the outside in, with the heritage and history of the period firmly in mind, this handsome, five bedroomed property has been a labour of love for the current owners and is one of three privately owned properties in the mews, the others being owned by Rugby School. With period features galore, modern conveniences like luxury bathrooms and en-suites, this Grade 2 listed property is available as something of a rarity. This is an almost one off chance to own a piece of Rugby history. With off road parking via a private driveway to the rear.
The rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and privacy due to its position away from roads and pavements. The fully enclosed walled garden boasts a well, water features and many varied species of flora including specimen trees, shrubs and bed planting. Gated access is available to the front and rear, and there are 5 IP65 rated outdoor sockets, one with a USB charging point on the patio.. Outside water tap. The rear gate leads to a driveway for 2-3 cars, shed and bin storage and access to the Hillmorton Road via “Church Walk”
The property will be celebrated with an opening round of viewings on Saturday 7th May between 10 and 12. Contact Adam J McHenry MInstSMM for more information to or arrange your slot. We’ve put the property live today (Sunday May 1st), and already have some slots filled so don’t delay.
